April 8th morning (7am - 9am). A time to meet, watch in awe, then ride !

My money is on Boonen this year.

Club.. let's have our first big 'Meet the new members, reconnect with old ones, and go for a ride' in 2012 on April 8th at 7am.

Let's meet in the morning at Speed Theory Calgary and watch the Paris-Roubaix action!! I will order a ton of coffee and tea and breakfast stuff like bagels and muffins.

We'll clear the floor, get out the chairs, grab some breakfast, and watch Paris-Roubaix on the projector with the speakers blaring!! Then, if the weather is agreeable, I'll coordinate several ride-guides to lead rides from the store after Boonen crushes the field.

Let's get the whole club out, there are a ton of names on the roster I don't recognize and all the vets would like you meet you.

Or will it be Boonen's teammate, Chavanel

Marcy will be there and will lead a women's/guys ride out of the NW at 10am, so make sure you are there if you are a women member.

Mike Godfrey will be leading a ride out of the store and be doing some of Ronde Van Cowtown.

Dave Holmes will be leading a ride up to Cougar Ridge for his 'Broom Sprints' ride.

If you are a potential member and would like to come out and meet potential teammates and see if the 'fit' is right, then for sure come out. However, due to the ABA's insurance policies, you can't join us on the ride unless you join that morning.

Sean "King" Kelly winner of a meager 9 classics (and one of the best commentators out there) saysChavanel for Flanders (he just won the TT and overall at the the 3 days de Pain). Cancellara for Paris Roubaix, pretty hard to argue with his choices. And besides Marcy & Thomas already took all my picks!
